[QUOTE="epoletna, post: 1851834, member: 87371"] Lapua has been my go-to brass for calibers on their availability list, but recently I had an interesting experience. I resurrected an old pre-64 Model 70 in 30-06 just to see if it would shoot at all well. To my surprise, it shoots pretty well off the bench. At the same time I got it out of the safe, I picked up around 100 pieces of Winchester range brass in that caliber, planning to turn it in for scrap. Before doing so, I loaded a few pieces and was surprised (again) that it performed well. I have now reloaded about 50 pieces of Winchester range brass 4-5 times, annealing and trimming regularly. After 5 reloadings, I think it is stretching beyond limits. But all this came as a surprise. to me: old rifle, old caliber, nondescript brass, and it all seemed to work reasonably well. Who knew?
